Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 307
King Qin took the potion and shook it: "I have to see the effect first."

"it is good."

King Qin turned around, took the medicine bottle and left.

When he went outside, Liu Wu and the others had been waiting for a long time. Seeing him in high spirits, they sighed inwardly, if King Qin wanted to say that there was a fatal spot, it was here.If he can bypass this dead spot, perhaps, he can really achieve some hegemony.

Liu Wu tentatively said, "Your Majesty, you can send someone to deliver this thing to Mrs. Yue."

King Qin glared: "This is what I owe all my life. After finding her the medicine, I will settle with her. From now on, I will never have anything to do with her again."

Liu Wu was overjoyed: "It's very good."

These days, Yue Pengju found that his wife's temper became more and more strange.At first, he thought his wife was afraid of having an extra woman in the family, so he offered to send Li Qiaoniang away several times.However, Hua Rong firmly opposed it.He saw his wife talking and laughing with Li Qiaoniang, and Li Qiaoniang had nothing to do with it, why?

At the beginning of April, the imperial court sent Zhang Jun as a supervisor.After the change of Miao Liu, Zhao Deji did not use Qin Hui for various reasons, but used Zhang Jun.He was very worried about the Dongting water bandits, the biggest worry in the country, and after sending Yue Pengju, he asked Zhang Jun to supervise his teachers personally to show his importance.

Zhang Jun was born as a Jinshi, and he looked down on martial arts students. When he saw Yue Pengju, he didn't call him "Xianggong", but called him by his military rank: "Yue Taiwei has been stationed in Dongting for more than a month, how do you use troops?"

Yue Pengju recounted his deployment.Zhang Jun was very satisfied, so he talked about his views freely.

Yue Pengju went home and told his wife about the meeting. Hua Rong frowned and said, "Zhang Jun is a man of great ambition and talent. If he is in the cabinet, he will definitely bring in Qin Hui."

Yue Pengju asked, "How can you see that?"

"He can't listen to other people's opinions. Only Qin Hui is good at flattering, and he will definitely do what he likes."

Yue Pengju's wind and cold lasted for several days. Hua Rong asked the military doctor quietly, and the military doctor said that there was nothing serious.

On this day, Yue Pengju came back from inspecting the military situation. He suffered from continuous wind and cold, felt unwell, and was in a bad mood. When he returned home, it was getting late. Seeing that his wife was still not at home, he frowned.

Li Qiaoniang obediently greeted her with tea and water, Yue Pengju sat down, frowned and asked, "Where has Madam been these days? Why is there no one around?"

Li Qiaoniang said: "Back to Mrs. Yue, Mrs. Yue has not come back from Tanzhou City." Li Qiaoniang served Yue Pengju to eat while she said.She specially prepared light side dishes. Yue Pengju is from the north and likes pasta, so she specially added a kind of dumplings with sour filling.

This was the first time Yue Pengju had eaten this kind of food, and he had a big appetite, so he asked curiously, "What is this?"

Li Qiaoniang saw his appetite soared, and happily replied: "This is something I learned from my family."

Yue Pengju thought it was delicious, and seeing her standing aside, he said, "You can eat it too."

Li Qiaoniang smiled and sat down beside him obediently, watching him while eating slowly, but seeing that he quickly finished a large bowl, she stood up and put the untouched dumplings in her bowl into his bowl Li, said: "My family has a small appetite, and I can't eat this much. Please use it..."

Hua Rong quietly stood at the door watching this "warm" scene, but seeing Yue Pengju sweating profusely from eating, he was very happy, and he didn't know what it was like.These days, she has seen too many shots like this.In his heart, he vaguely understands what is meant by "long-term love". If things go on like this, it must be a matter of course for Pengju to fall in love with Li Qiaoniang.

After Yue Pengju finished eating the dumplings, he found his wife standing at the door, as if she had just come back, and said happily, "Sister Seventeen, come and taste it, Qiao Niang cooked a good meal today..."

Li Qiaoniang also stood up hastily, with a very submissive expression: "Madam, I have left some food for you, and I will bring it right away."

The two sang together, Hua Rong felt like a strange guest.She smiled lightly, sat down beside her, and said, "I've already eaten, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Oh? Sister Seventeen, where did you eat?"

Hua Rong glanced at the sour stuffing, and said lightly, "I ate it in Tanzhou City. The Zuixiang chicken there is very good. Pengju, you know, I don't like noodles very much. Dongting is really a good place. Eat and wear. The cost is dizzying..."

Yue Pengju frowned slightly, and saw that his wife had changed into a light red gauze shirt, and a crystal clear jade hairpin had been inserted into her hair at some point.

Seeing her husband's gaze, Hua Rong smiled disapprovingly and said, "I used to fight every day and didn't know the happiness of the world, but now I know that the days of leisure and entertainment are better than before. Seeing the beautiful scenery around Dongting every day and tasting delicious food is also a great joy in life... ..."

Yue Pengju's hearing was even harsher, and then he remembered that because of "King Qin", Zhao Deji had rewarded Hua Rong with 200 taels of gold alone.Except for the 100 taels given to Wang Jixian for solving Li Yi'an's troubles, she kept all the gold and did not use it as military expenses.

He has seen his wife's hard work these years. It is natural for him to let his wife eat well and dress well. A nouveau riche looked at the poor man, he felt very uncomfortable, and he didn't know how to speak, so he was speechless for a long time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Qiaoniang immediately went to clean up the dishes obediently, and said with a smile: "If my husband likes it, I will do it tomorrow."

Yue Pengju said lightly: "Okay, Xiaguan was born in a farming family, and I haven't seen many delicacies, so I like this kind of pasta. You've been cooking this for a few days."

After hearing this, Hua Rong didn't say anything, stood up slowly, and yawned: "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep." After speaking, she went straight back to her room to sleep.

Seeing her charming and charming back passing by, Yue Pengju felt even more uncomfortable.Usually, the husband and wife always read together after dinner and practice sword together in the morning.However, these days, Hua Rong stopped reading books and stopped practicing swords.Like other wives and concubines of generals who love glory and wealth, they pay attention to food and clothing every day.After Yue Pengju joined the army, he shared joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and his family members had to lead by example. Otherwise, the high-ranking officials were feasting on fish and meat every day, and the soldiers were starved of food.
He was very disturbed, so he got up and followed his wife in, wanting to talk to her.

When I entered the house, I saw that my wife had already undressed and went to bed.He sat down beside her, held her hand, and said in a very gentle voice, "Sister Seventeen, the war is tense these days. I go out every day to check the situation and hold meetings. I haven't been with you well..."

Hua Rong turned over slightly, and muttered, "Pengju, what are you talking about?"

"Sister Seventeen, do you feel lonely?"

"No, I eat and drink out every day. I don't know how happy I am. Pengju, you are free, and I will take you there. Alas, I just realized now that the previous days were wasted. Heh, Pengju, look at my clothes. It was made by the best tailor in Tanzhou City, and it costs 10 guan. Do you think it looks good?..."

Yue Pengju was completely speechless.

Hua Rong said in a daze again: "Pengju, these years of fighting hard, look at the food and clothing of generals like Liu Guang and Zhang Jun, and you will be able to live up to the high salary. You are also a Jiedu envoy, a first-rank official! , and not too shabby..."

Liu Guang only knows beautiful women and delicious food, and he is a famous mediocre general.And Zhang Jun is more open-minded, using his power to search around and deducting military pay. He has never fought a decent battle, and he is a typical example of fleeing after hearing the news.The gold and silver money in his family was piled up like a mountain. In order to avoid thieves thinking about it, he cast the silver into a big silver ball of 1000 taels. , can't move.

Yue Pengju has always despised these two people, but he was even more displeased when he heard that his wife yearned for their glory, but he said patiently: "The war is tense now, it's not the time for pleasure..." He felt strange that his wife was inappropriate. If you are such a person, then slowly say, "Sister Seventeen, what's the matter with you these days?"

Hua Rong was still in a daze: "After experiencing life and death, everything is taken lightly. To live is to enjoy, not to work hard."

Yue Pengju couldn't speak anymore.After a while, I looked at my wife again and heard that she was breathing deeply and fell asleep.

He got up and walked out, only to see that candles had already been lit in the temporary study room, and Li Qiaoniang in a jingchai sarong was diligently cleaning and tidying up, making the house spotless.

Today's Li Qiaoniang is like Hua Rong in the past.How can people change so much?

He sighed secretly, and said to Li Qiaoniang: "You have worked hard, go and rest."

Li Qiaoniang was very grateful for his praise, she stood with her hands crossed, and said in a low voice: "My family is not hard, and it is my honor to be able to serve my wife and husband."

Yue Pengju sat down at the desk without a word, but saw that Li Qiaoniang had already placed his favorite war book, and there was a cup of tea next to it, everything was just right.

Li Qiaoniang cut the candle wick to make it brighter, and then she stood by his side: "My servant serves the gentleman to study."

Yue Pengju was upset, shook his head and said, "Go and rest, I don't want company."

Li Qiaoniang retreated meekly, and carefully closed the door when she went out.

Hua Rong heard the slight sound of the door closing in the bedroom, sat up slowly, looked around in the dark for a while, and then fell back to sleep. It was almost halfway through the night before Yue Pengju returned to the bedroom.Hua Rong still pretended not to know, and when he opened his eyes in the morning, Yue Pengju had already gotten up for morning exercises.

The next day was the birthday of the local magistrate, and the generals and their families were invited to a simple banquet.Because fighting in the local area depends on the prefect, Yue Pengju saw that the banquet was not too extravagant, so he prepared to let his wife attend the banquet.Because he was in the army, he went directly, and the female relatives went together.

After Hua Rong got up, she walked around outside and saw that there were many female relatives who had changed clothes around the door of Fourth Sister Gao.Fourth Sister Gao greeted her very warmly when she saw her.Hua Rong walked over, and the eyes of all the female relatives fell on her.Since the usual topics of the female relatives were nothing more than children and wives and concubines, Hua Rong had nothing in common with them on these two topics, so he didn't usually talk to them much.Especially after Li Qiaoniang came, she even avoided greeting these female relatives.Therefore, all the women's relatives also felt that she was aloof and difficult to approach.

Fourth Sister Gao asked enthusiastically, "Mrs. Yue, will you go to Zhizhou banquet today?"

Hua Rong shook his head: "I have something to do, I can't go."
